The

 THE


The wanting, the needing

The beat, burn, and blacktop

The voice in the backdrop

The pinnacle we're climbing


The moon piercing veils

The ships underneath it

The fool, friend, and martyr

The gracious high priestess 


The need for speed and space

The inquiry it takes

The soul lost for direction

The sense of strange relation


The stage on which it takes place 

The scenery, the greenery

The flowers, fields, and bucketseats

The bottomed out and settling 


The urge of exploration

The challeges we're facing

The rewards that we're reaping

The starlit summer evenings 


The history, the mystery

The poet and his imagery

The witchcraft and the wizardry

The wardrum sounding suddenly


The Godhead and the end of times

The meaning, rhymes of nursery

The brillance and the subtle shine

The goodbye when it hurts to leave


The hello and the herioism

The greeting of an open chapter

The bravery and intensity

The following of what we're after 


All that isn't mastered, that flowing and congealed

A game that is worth losing, to balance playing fields

Growing old on turning globes, full circle, back to whence we came

A memoir of a memory, scribed upon a well-worn page
